What a great find!
 
I love the Medieval Artistry, very nice piece, I've yet to get one as nice as that but look forward to trying :icon_thumright:
 
Thanks for the comments guys....it has been suggested that it represents the lion

associated with St Mark...

I did make one basic mistake though lol there was a bit more gilding evident until

i rubbed it between my fingers doh!!!
